Q: I would like to increase my investments in foreign, but non-USA situs, companies, by buying ADRs (as my estate would be subject to US estate taxes). Currently, I have smallish positions in NVO (NovoNordisk; Danish) and ALC (Alcon; Swiss), which I am planning to add to. However, I would like to invest in up to three additional ADRs. My approach to investing (over the past 3 decades) is very long term buy & hold (indefinite holds, to bequeath to future generations), so I am aiming for high-quality companies. Can you perhaps provide your thoughts on NVO and ALC, as well as suggest up to 5 additional ADRs for consideration? (I'm not a fan of tobacco or gaming stocks, but generally open to wide spectrum of ideas.)

Q: In your opinion, does Alcon and Viatris constitute a good buy at the moment?
Do they have growth potential?
